EVE General Discussion

Can someone explain to me why that seems like a good idea to some? Is there any scenario where that would actually be beneficial?

I don't even understand Eve so get in line

The reason why some people ask for this, is because they believe that somehow a full reset would give them a chance at becoming the "best" at EvE. The problem is, that EvE does not have a specified end-goal you can grind or get a head-start on.

Anyway, we already have an EvE 2.0 or higher. The engine and gameplay has been revised in such a drastic manner, that one can hardly argue that the initial EvE released in 2003 is even close to what we have today.

EVE 2.0?
What you need is not here, its on microsoft site and the latest version is 2016.

It's more than a bit disingenuous to claim 13-years worth of SP, ISK and organization is insignificant, and with just a few good friends (presumably found in this more-than-simple environment for social-izing) you're as well off as the most bitterest of bittervets. Au contraire, mon ami. I'd also bet the ones who make such assertions are also the ones who make finding friends in this massive open-air jungle such a SIMPLE thing to do.

The idea of having a ghost of a chance against those who have more than a decade's worth of running headstart isn't really something one should denigrate or dismiss. That it isn't something likely to happen in EVE is one of those cold, hard facts of life people really need to understand in order to understand the terrain.

The point is, 13-years from now, any noob will look like a 13-year bittervet. All you gotta do is keep swingin'. You'll get there. Just bear in mind, by then there'll be more than a few 26-year bittervets. That's the nature of clocks, and calendars... Take heart in the knowledge their teeth will be falling out, to match their hair that fell out ten years before, and they'll be swingin' a mean cane IRL.

By the way; your calendar's days are numbered! But, there is no EVE 2. Sowwy.

How I think Eve 2 would be beneficial is for no legacy code holding back like it has been doing for years now and good opportunity to add longer beard. But me still likey what we have now.

In EVE 2.0 there is no high sec/lo sec. All space is lawless space! There are no mission hubs, no PVE at all, no security guards protecting carebears, not even invulvnerable trade hubs. Every trade hub has to be built by players and can be attacked, every single thing in the game is built from the wrecks of other players.

In EVE 2.0 the only rat left to grind is you.

Then again I suppose you would still need to be able to build things via industry and mining... oh hell did I really just say that.

Ignore him. One of eve's many forum trolls.

You forget that bugs don't exist anymore thanks to all modern day software being perfect.

Spend any amount of time reading f&i and you will end up with a grab bag.

My personal favorite one was along the lins of
"other players are better at eve than i am, and theyre co operating,
ccp this isnt fair,
please adress this immediatly or ill unsub my eleventy twelve accounts ktnxbby"

Ihavent seen "eve 2" tabled in a while but its definitlybeen asked for a lot.
Always laughed at of corse and rightly so.
